Abstract

A method is disclosed for determination of an ophthalmic lens for a wearer for whom a near-vision and far-vision astigmatism prescription has been made out, the near-vision astigmatism being different from the far-vision astigmatism. The method includes the steps of: choosing a starting lens and defining a current lens equal to the starting lens; optimization, in worn conditions, of the current lens using as a target the astigmatism for which the wearer has been giving a prescription for far vision and the astigmatism for which the wearer has been given a prescription for near vision.

Claims (15)

1. Method for determination of an ophthalmic lens for a wearer for whom a near-vision and far-vision astigmatism prescription has been made out, the near-vision astigmatism being different from the far-vision astigmatism, the method comprising the steps of;

choosing a starting lens and defining a current lens equal to the starting lens;

optimization, in worn conditions, of the current lens using as a target the astigmatism for which the wearer has been given a prescription for far vision and the astigmatism for which the wearer has been given a prescription for near vision.

2. The method of claim 1 , in which the astigmatism is measured in a reference frame linked to the eye.

3. The method of claim 1 in which the target also includes a power prescription for the wearer in near vision.

4. The method of claim 1 , in which the target also includes a power prescription for the wearer in tar vision.

5. The method of claim 1 , in which the optimization comprises the definition of a principal meridian and uses as target a continuous increase in the amplitude of astigmatism along the meridian.

6. The method of claim 1 , in which the optimization comprises the definition of a principal meridian and uses as target a continuous progression of the axis of astigmatism along the meridian.

7. A lens obtained by the method of claim 1 .

8. A lens for a wearer for whom a near-vision and far-vision astigmatism prescription has been made out, the near-vision astigmatism being different from the far-vision astigmatism, the lens being obtained by a method comprising the steps of:

choosing a starting lens and defining a current lens equal to the starting lens;

optimization, in worn conditions, of the current lens using as a target the astigmatism for which the wearer has been given a prescription for far vision and the astigmatism for which the wearer has beer given a prescription for near vision.

9. Method for determination of an ophthalmic lens for a wearer for whom a near-vision and far-vision astigmatism prescription has been made out, the near-vision astigmatism being different from the far-vision astigmatism, the method comprising the steps of:

choosing a starting lens and defining a current lens equal to the starting lens;

optimization, in worn conditions, of the current lens as a target the astigmatism for which the wearer has been given a prescription for far vision, and the astigmatism for which the wearer has being giving a prescription for near vision, said near-vision astigmatism prescription being measured in binocular vision.
